With a doubled-parked UPS delivery truck blocking his\nlane, a New Jersey motorist was seriously injured in August 2011 as he steered his\nown car around the UPS truck, causing him to collide head-on with another car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victim, Paul Cuff, will now receive a $2 million settlement<\/a> for his injuries, which included brain and spinal issues, according to a recent story by Law.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuff was driving on Mount Prospect Avenue in Newark,\nN.J., on Aug. 17, 2011, when the incident occurred as he crossed the center\nline of the roadway and cross into oncoming traffic, the story reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The UPS truck was\ndouble-parked while its driver was making a delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After being hurt in\nthe crash, Cuff was unable to return to his job as a boiler system engineer due\nto his injuries, including short- and long-term memory loss and a herniation at\nL5-S1, which required back surgery and ongoing pain management treatment, the\nreport continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the case, both\nsides disagreed over the plaintiff’s discovery requests about prior crashes\ninvolving double-parker UPS delivery trucks and about UPS policies about\nleaving delivery trucks double-parked in the street, the story reported. UPS\ndid not collect data about crashes involving double-parked vehicles, but\nplaintiff counsel alleged that the company’s practice of paying tickets for\ndrivers who double-park sent the message that the danger of double-parking is\nthe cost of doing business, the story continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal\ncases like this one occur around the nation every day and are examples of\nsimilar kinds of car crash cases that MyPhillyLawyer<\/em> attorneys\nregularly work on tirelessly for our own clients.
